Nice, great idea, I wonder if they are really doing this; if they were really smart, perhaps there could be some compression algorithm that took it a step further: not only would indentical emails be stored as one, but emails that are not spam, but are nonethless generic, could be saved as a key + changes from the key. The 'generic' templates could be generated automatically over time. Perhaps this is taking it to far though, of course if they have enough users, even this would be beneficial.
Storage: Google believes people should be able to hold onto their mail forever. That's why Gmail comes with 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of free storage ? more than 100 times what most other free webmail services offer.
Google plans to make money from the service by inserting advertisements into messages based in part on their content, effectively extending its AdWords program for presenting contextual ads in Web pages to e-mail.
whats so great about searching your email? any decent mail app allows you to search your email easily (I'm using M2, Opera's built-in client, and it has really nice search utilities built in. Unless Google adds something to the searching, its not going to be anything new (to me anyways).
looks to me like a very interesting graphical representation of voter contributions, it seems a little scary though that I can access the name and address of everyone in my zipcode who contributed x amount of money to x candidate; I can see why it is necessary to keep these records public, but I can also see some potential for mis-use. Anyone else have this thought?
1. yes, you can split up games into category based on whatever you want (number of players, point of view, type) etc.. whats your point? 2. your categories suck; they are inconsitent in type, and thats why 'some games span more than one category'. The best way to split up game is by the type of game play, and this is how its done at major game sites, magazines and the like.
Altough I agree that there is a lack of creativity/guts in the industry in general, I disagree with the proposition that a sequel implies that a game necessarily lacks creativity. I particularly object to slapping HL2 with this label; if you've seen the previews and the screenshots you know that this game will be revolutionary in many respects (graphics/game-play/physics engine/characters), the fact that it is a sequel is not relevant.
Also, what about the the massive multiplayer games? I think they are the future, and the sky is the limit there.
Since it has become possible for individual expression to be recorded and dispensed to millions of people. A value system is necessary to find the crem de la crem; argue all you want for moral and value relativism, there's just too much out there no to try to do so. (You do it everyday with Google)
what do you mean? AMD is on the ropes as a company, they still are between a rock and a hard place; Of course I understand that its all relative and AMD is not about to dissapear, but relatively, they are a very small company competing in a space that takes huge money (IBM/Intel).

Can I have a little of whatever you're smoking?
plus its super COOL; you keep forgetting that.

reading comprehension indeed..
there is a 'TuringBot'
no no, he didn't snap his fingers.. that was the whole point.

Also, if its not POP3, its no use to me.

Austin is cheap, given its size, the opprotunities here, and how friggin COOL it is. =]
That is what he meant, and he expressed himself very well. Don't get your panties in a wad.

awesome.
what does this have to do with the mac platform?
you are both wrong.

Actually, yes he did.

Its not much harder to nuke the ISS than it is any other location on Earth.

How does this serve their interests? I don't understand were the pressure was coming from.
If the extensions were not compatible I could easily see Intel pushing AMD out of market.
scratch that, let me be the 5th person to say..
